A Step Change to Improve Road Worker Safety

What can we do to improve road worker safety?

Think

  • Change our approach
  • Raise the profile of road workers
  • Educate the road users

The Agent's View

Working on the motorway

Area 9 AmeyMouchel

  • 1000 lane 2 or 3 closures a year
  • Equivalent to 10,000 road crossings

England

  • 100,000 road crossings a year
  • Each carried out by two men

How can we improve road worker safety?

Traffic on the motorway

Reduce road workers exposure to live traffic and lessen the risks to road workers when on the network.

Highlight the importance of road workers and their safety to the public by raising awareness and the industry consistently maintaining the highest standards.

Clearing debris from the motorway

Improve road user awareness and responses by improving driver education.
